Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Norwich City. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Norwich City managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Manager Enzo Maresca will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 35 of their 39 games this season.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
On an individual basis, Jamie Vardy will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The King Power Stadium having scored 5 goals in Leicester City's last 6 home games in the league.
Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Preston North End. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Preston North End who had 4 attempts and 1 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have conceded at least one goal in 18 of their 20 away games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
